I thought the movie was fantastic until the end. The whole farm house scene near the beginning had me pooping all over but then near the end I just kept questioning how things where happening. Maybe I missed something that explained what I was so confused about? Particularly the truck chase scene. If you’ve seen it you’ll know what I’m talking about.

I have to agree with Ben, great choices so far. I’ve had to add a few movies to the watch list myself.

Eh, the twist is an after-thought. The payoff does not make the whole movie. The whole movie is really well made. I figured out The Sixth Sense before the opening credits, but that didn’t make it a bad movie. Haute Tension has great atmosphere, great visuals, a great soundtrack, etc….

I dont know if I would have incuded this one. I figured the ‘payout’ of this movie less than half way through, and I just wished they would have not gone that route.

Another great review, Ryan. And another surprising choice for your ten of terror. I have to admit, I assumed the segments would be filled with your standard Halloween movie choices, and instead I’ve been treated to a great sampling of some passed over films.

You may have even convinced me to watch a few, which is really saying something when you know how well (poorly) I deal with horror flicks.
